Chapter 217

"More than you can measure." the man sneered and looked at Ye Shaoyi, who couldn't reach one of his fingers. "You betrayed me because you loved that man? But you forgot that I adopted you. I gave you your life."

"I love that person, because he gave me the meaning of living." Ye Shaoyi endured the pain, clenched her teeth and rushed over.

When she attacked, she suddenly dodged and turned to attack from behind the man. The man realized that ye Shaoyi had changed the attack trajectory and jumped up quickly to avoid the whip. A man somersaults and whips. The new one fell on Ye Shaoyi's original wound, and she cried out in pain.

"The only meaning of your life is killing people." the man walked step by step to Ye Shaoyi, who was half kneeling on the ground. He squatted down and looked at her.

"Now that you have found me, you can kill me or cut me. Please don't hurt my son. He doesn't know anything. It's not good for you to kill him." Ye Shaoyi endured the pain and looked at the man's sharp eyes like an eagle.

"Killing you will dirty my hands. Of course, someone else will do it for me. As for your son, I won't do it to a dying man." the man sneered with disdain, shook off Ye Shaoyi's chin and got up to leave Linglong Pavilion

The white dove landed outside the wooden house. Lan Qing was awakened by the cry of the white dove. He grabbed his sword and walked out of the wooden house.

A group of white pigeons landed in the open space outside. These are carrier pigeons transmitting information.

Lan Qing stretched out his hand and waited for the white pigeon to fly and fall on his arm. Lan Qing looked at the iron ring at the pigeon's ankle, carefully took out the secret letter and let the pigeon fly.

Lan Qing stood outside the house and read the secret letter:

Kill Ye Shaoyi, the steward of Linglong Pavilion.

Lan Qing crumpled the secret letter into a ball and frowned slightly. He wondered why he received the order to kill Ye Shaoyi. He took a deep breath, sighed, clenched his sword and went down the mountain alone.

Luoying was awakened by Liu Jinxi's scream. She was already very close to the edge of the bed. With Liu Jinxi's scream, she rolled to the ground with the quilt.

"It hurts." Luoying fell to the ground and woke up in an instant. She rubbed her joints and got up.

"Grandma, grandma..." Liu Jinxi's cry came in through the door.

Luo Yingcai found that Liu Jinxi was no longer in bed.

Luo Ying didn't know what had happened. She put on her shoes and ran to grandma Liu Jinxi's small room.

Liu Jinxi held her grandmother in tears and kept shouting grandma.

"Jin Xi, what's the matter?" Luo Ying looked at Liu Jin Xi, who was crawling on her grandmother and crying. She took another step closer and saw that her grandmother had died.

Liu Jinxi held grandma's body and cried. Luo Ying looked at Liu Jinxi and was a little sad. After a sad moment, she looked for Lan Qing everywhere in the cabin, but found that Lan Qing was gone.

Luo Ying sighed and helped Liu Jinxi bury her grandmother.

Linglong Pavilion.

Lan Qing stood in Ye Shaoyi's room and looked at her. Ye Shaoyi was hurt and looked very pale, but she was covered by the rouge on her face.

Ye Shaoyi smiled sadly, "are you the one sent to kill me?"

"I can't disobey the master's order." Lan Qing slowly pulled out the scabbard of the sword, and a sword shadow flashed from ye Shaoyi's face. The chair Ye Shaoyi had been sitting on became two halves.

Ye Shaoyi quickly avoided Lan Qing's sword and retreated to the bed, holding the whip in a defensive position.

"Lan Qing, although you may not be able to listen to what I said, I still want to tell you that you live for yourself, for the people you care about, not just to be a killer for others." Ye Shaoyi didn't plan to fight back. She kept coughing: "More than 20 years ago, I was arranged to be the daughter of the prime minister's house and kill a man, but I fell in love with him. We eloped together and were chased all the way. Finally, I had to go my separate ways with him. I hope he can live, but we can't escape death."

"But I never regret it. Meeting him and falling in love with him are the best memories of my life. I gave birth to Ye Jing, woven many lies and hid my past. I thought that the man and I would be well respectively, but it turned out that he had already died."

"I shouldn't have separated from him. At least we can die together." Ye Shaoyi whispered and looked at the distance, as if recalling her life.

The sky in the distance is purple and looks very treacherous.

Luo Ying and Liu Jinxi buried grandma.

Liu Jinxi squatted in front of the grave and cried, while Luo Ying found a small secret letter kneaded on the ground outside the house.

Why is there such a thing here?

Luo Ying picked it up curiously and looked at the secret letter crumpled into a ball.

After reading the words above, Luoying's pupils suddenly contracted. Ignoring the comfort of Liu Jinxi, she hurried to say goodbye, took the herbs collected yesterday and ran down the mountain

"You should be glad that I didn't receive the order to kill Ye Jing." Lan Qing didn't seriously listen to Ye Shaoyi's past, but showed a cold expression.

"Don't you like Luoying?" Ye Shaoyi suddenly smiled, as if she already knew how Lan Qing's fate was going to be.

Lan Qing dropped her eyes when she heard this sentence, and the expression on her face finally changed subtly. He opened his lips slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

"When the person who can dominate your emotions appears, you will understand that people live to love and be loved, not to kill. I have received and owned it, so even if I die, I have no regrets."

"Niang, Niang..." outside the door, came Ye Jing's voice.

When ye Jing woke up, he couldn't find Ye Shaoyi everywhere, so he coughed and walked to Ye Shaoyi's room.

Lan Qing frowned slightly, but ye Shaoyi suddenly smiled sadly and whispered Ye Jing's name.

"Ye Jing, my mother should go first." Ye Shaoyi looked sadly at the back outside the door and suddenly came forward to grasp the sword in Lan Qing's hand.

Lan Qing was stunned and looked at Ye Shaoyi holding her sword and stabbing her heart.

She held Lan Qing's hand tightly and smiled bitterly, "promise me one thing. No matter what happens in the future, please don't hurt my Ye Jing. He is innocent."

"OK, I promise you." Lan Qing looked at Ye Shaoyi who lost her strength a little in front of her and nodded to promise her.

After ye Shaoyi got the affirmative answer, she tried her best to push Lan Qing away.

The blade that ran through the heart brought out a blood stain and splashed on the ground.

Ye Shaoyi stumbled back and hit the table behind her. The tea set fell to the ground and made a harsh sound.

"Ye Jing, where is your mother?" Luo Ying came out of nowhere. She saw Ye Jing wandering in the corridor. Then they heard the sound of broken cups in Ye Shaoyi's room.

Luo Ying didn't wait for Ye Jing's answer. She pushed open Ye Shaoyi's door and rushed in.

Lan Qing stood in front of Ye Shaoyi, his sword blade dripping blood. Ye Shaoyi was dying and fell to the ground. Her blood gurgled out and dyed her clothes red.

"Niang!" Ye Jing, who followed Luo Ying, stopped at the threshold, stayed stunned, looked at Ye Shaoyi on the ground, and suddenly stepped forward quickly.

Ye Jing pounced on the ground, hugged Ye Shaoyi on the ground, and trembled: "Niang, what's the matter with you? Niang?"

"Ye Jing, you should live well in the future, you know?" Ye Shaoyi smiled sadly and touched Ye Jing's cheek, as if it were the warmest existence in the world.

Ye Jing held Ye Shaoyi's cool hand tightly to prevent it from falling.

Ye Shaoyi smiled faintly and looked at Lan Qing. It seemed to remind him that you can't go back on what you promised.

"Niang, Niang..." Ye Jing shook Ye Shaoyi, and ye Shaoyi's eyes had lost focus when they were fixed on Lan Qing.

She lay quietly in Ye Jing's warm arms and stopped moving.

Ye Jing looked at the dead Ye Shaoyi and cried loudly.

Luoying only experienced other people's life and death in the morning. Once she came back, it was like this again. Her mood is very complicated. She doesn't know what to do.

"Lan Qing, how can you kill sister Yi? Is command more important than human life?" Luo Ying, who didn't know the situation, looked at Lan Qing with incomprehensible eyes.

Lan Qing said nothing and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Why can you be so cold-blooded and ruthless? You talk!" Luo Ying roared at Lan Qing who didn't speak.

"I didn't kill her." Lan Qing said such a sentence coldly.

But now, no one will believe him.

"The sword is in your hand and still dripping blood. You said you didn't kill it. Did my mother pounce on it?" Ye Jing stretched out her hand and covered Ye Shaoyi's eyes to let her close her eyes. He put her in place, stood up and walked in the direction of Lan Qing, "do you think I will believe you?"
